That's the interesting thing. There are a lot of GMs with limited viewings out east that think of him as a budding #1 center who had 30/30 last year, and a lot of teams at the bottom of the standings looking for a #1 center. Columbus for instance, they're basically in Matthews-or-bust mode after trading RyJo for Seth Jones. Who knows, we could even pry out a Rychel in the process.
Everything would have to go right (er... 'wrong') for us to get 1st OA so it's just a hypothetical, though.

Backlund is a 2nd line center in the NHL. He's not a 1B but he's definitely a 2. He's the best two-way center on this team and that's really the problem.
